Things to do for June 25, 2009

The Weekender

Pigs and Pinot, Endless Sushi and Barrel-Aged Beer

Thursday

If we were two doors down from Agent Provocateur, we'd never move, but Shotwell is selling off their vintage
Lacoste duds and more modern stuff from Cheap Monday and Surface to Air at up to 80 percent off, and heading
to a larger space a few blocks over. Which is still within walking distance to the lingerie…

This local journal of meat culture now has eight issues under its belt—to go along with lots of bacon,
beef and mutton. Come to tonight's meat-focused photography opening and enhance your art appreciation with
house-made charcuterie and wines from Bi-Rite. They might even snap your mug.

Saturday

All the pinot you can drink poured by a lineup of nine wineries (Peay, Hirsch, Freeman) gets even better
when you throw in a waterfront pig roast—think: slow-roasted whole pig, pork belly, ribs and bacon
brittle (just when you thought peanut brittle couldn't get any better).

Sunday

If you're on the peninsula and craving Italian, just-opened Donato is as close as you'll get to dining at a
ristorante on the boot. Italian Michelin-starred chef Donato Scotti's homemade pastas and pizzas
from the wood-burning oven might even make it a destination. If not, more than 100 bottles of mostly Italian
wines will.

Monday

The thing about sushi is, an hour later you're hungry again. Which is why you'll want to clear your Mondays
so you can spend a few hours (they're open for five) eating all the rolls, nigiri and apps master sushi chef
Ido Kiyotaka can make—lucky for you, we hear he moves fast.
